Iceland To Ban Petroleum Fuel By 2050

Filed in archive Green Tech by Jonathan G. Cohen on January 19, 2006

The Icelandic government has passed legislation requiring all vehicles operate on renewable energy fuels by 2050. Iceland's topographical features have benefited its green tech movement; volcanoes that formed the island nation long ago formed rivers which power hydroelectric plants and still heat underground water sources used to heat homes.

Three buses running on hydrogen fuel are currently being tested in Reykjavik, the capital city. Though three times more expensive than petroleum fuel, these vehicles get three times the mileage of conventional buses. Iceland is the first country to set a timeframe for banning gasoline.

Good for Iceland! It's great to see a country that has its collective head very far from its arse. Of course there natural resources in heat make this a little easier, but this makes me want to move to Iceland all the more. What a cool country!

They have some resources we don't? Less greed, maybe.

There are areas of the US that could do this too! Hawaii would certainly benifit - Would we anger Pele ? How does Pele feel about all the oil being shipped in?
